Satish, this is one stunning image and I love the colors, sharpness of the subject, as well as the background showing the environment. A bit hot under the wing in my opinion, but not too much. Composition works for me, and I really like the fact that you included the fruit

Kind regards,

Not sure about this one - I agree to some extent with Gabriela, but I wonder if it would liik better with a bit less dynamic range - e.g. lighter on the breast and darker under the wings. I also like the leaves and the fruit. Sharp bird with great eye contact.

Liking very much the inclusion of foliage Satish, particularly the berry. Liking the angle of light especially where it hits the leaves, a little hot under the wing, but overall lots of detail, great eye and nicely composed in frame

Satish,
You did have a bit of side lighting to deal with,
But the habitat is nice, the bird is sharp,
and the IQ at Iso 3200 is very good.

Excellent pose captured, Satish. This image could have benefited for using a fill flash as the light looks kind of harsh. I know many of you like natural light, so do I, but sometimes fill flash works for us.
